Is anyone using these products under 7.1 Pro? I would like to just install the RPM for SuSE if it is available opposed to compling from source, etc. It's all mostly vapourware at the moment, even on Windows. Ximian claim to have a mostly working C# compiler but haven't released anything AFAIK. Sounds like you've been swept along by the Microsoft PR machine. What you really want are truly open standards, unrestricted by patents, licenses and other such guff. Do you...? ;)
I'm definately an in the open standards group. I am looking at these tools in the event that I may need to support a heterogeneous M$/GNU solution. I never took the time to learn PERL and REGEXP, so I'm trying to stay familiar enough with the old tools along with the new tools so that I'm marketable. :) Microsoft released their Visual C# .NET & Visual Studio .NET products last week. You can download the runtime for NT4.0SP6, 2K, XP but I would rather start under SuSE than develop under Linux and test on NT4.0. Jonathan
